What Is News Now?
For 2011's Free Thinking festival, Radio 3 and Radio 5 live join forces in a live simulcast from The Sage Gateshead to debate the editorial choices behind news stories.
As part of the 2011 Free Thinking festival, 大象传媒 Radio 3 and 大象传媒 Radio 5 live join forces at The Sage Gateshead to debate the editorial choices behind news stories.
Broadcast live simultaneously on both networks, 5 live presenter Chris Warburton and Radio 3's Matthew Sweet are joined by a panel of guests from television news and the press. As internet bloggers and social media such as Twitter transform the consumption and distribution of news, and as celebrity gossip and audience generated stories push foreign affairs and politics further down the agenda, what is the future of traditional news?
The debate takes place at The Sage Gateshead in front of a live audience as part of 大象传媒 Radio 3's Free Thinking festival of ideas 4 - 6 November.
